I'm going to build this M1075 PLS with M5-Concrete Mobile Mixer.
An I'll be using a Reissued Italeri M977 kit. So thanks to some of you for helping me get info and photos, that will help me build this big boy.

Hay guy's I have bean working on the chassis and I'll post progress work soon. Thank's for the photo links they will help. An I'm going to scratchbuild my own tire tred. "OR" I'll try. Now if I can't pull this off, i'll then buy aftermarket tires.

Thanks again guys.

Thanks guys here's some progress. I'm using the TMs to add detail.

Here's a bit of work on the first of the three axels. Thanks so much guy's your TM photos and links are hallping alot!
Seeing that this axel is so diffrent than the otheres. Scratchbuilding it is a must.








I'm woring on the rear of this axel to night as well at it's suspension.

Hello guys, I'm still working this baby. I ordered a set of those DEF Models M977 wheels set. There ok, not as bad as I thought. I would like to do a full review on them for AF but I don't reall know just how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!


An for you guys that are thinking that these tires are black rubber, think again. There cast in grayish brown resin.


Now I'm still going to scratchbuild or make my own tred pattern on the kit's sanded tires. More chassis work coming soon!

Guys I'm sorry it's taking some time, in building this chassis., but I want to try and get as close to right as I can.
Here's some of my latest work.

Now I love the work of Mr.Charles K. on his M1075 PLS but no one know's just how he build his axle suspension. So I wanted to show how built mine so any othere builder can build there own 10x10 HEMTT truck.


This is a test fit and the airbags are to short.


I had to make the airbags longer so that the axle level would be the same as the two rear axles.
